CUSHION-PLATFORM FOR STOVES AND FURNITURE.

Y SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,02*?, dated April12, 1881.

.To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WHITFIELD E. JONES, acitizen ofthe United States, residing atBrooklyn, in the county of Kingsand State of New York,havein vented certain new and useful Improvementsin Uushiou-Platforms for Stoves, Furniture, 85e.; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ofthis specitication, and to the letters and Iigures ot' reference markedthereon.

The presentinvention has relation to certain new and useful improvementsin that class of platform-cushions used to place under the legs ofstoves on other furniture to prevent the feet or casters from cuttinginto or otherwise injuring the covering upon the floor.

The object of the invention is to construct a metal disk, simple inform, with a bead around its upper edge, or otherwise counter- H sunk,to prevent the feet from slipping off the edge, and to secure thefilling of cork or other suitable material to the under side thereof, asillustrated in the drawings, and hereinafter described. l

Figure l of the drawings is a top-plan view of my invention. Fig. 2 is across -section taken diametrically through the same.`

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the disk, of any suitablemetal and any desirable size. The diskA is countersunk, so as to form acircumferential bead, a, upon its upper face or surface, so as 'toprevent the feet of Application filed September 1, 1880. (No model.)

the stove or other article of furniture slipping off.

A cushion, B, of cork, rubber, felt, or any other suitable material thatwill answer as a non-conductor of sound, is connected to the under sideof the disk A by forcing the edge of the metal disk into the cushion.

It should be noticed that the cushion B projects down vbelow the edge ofthe disk A, so that the cushion alone rests on the floor, therebypreventing any injury to the oil-cloth or other similar door-covering.

Intconnectin g the disk and cushion together the entire circular edge orrim of the disk is turned in above the substance 0r material forming thecushion and cuts into it sufficiently to securely hold it in place.

llavingy now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Aplatform-cushion for the legs of stoves andother furniture, consistin gof the` metallic disk A, in combination with the cushion B, said diskhaving its edge or rim turned in above the lower surface of the cushion,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
